BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon makes northern B.C. pitch during TerraceBC visit

B.C. Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon pitched his platform to northerners during a visit to Terrace in which he attacked B.C. NDP leadership candidate David Eby’s approach to solving the housing crisis, opioid epidemic, crime and healthcare access.

The province has promised to release recommendations from an expert report into prolific offenders in mid-September.Falcon said northern communities such as Terrace are being “totally left out” by the current NDP government, which he described as an urban government. “We’ve got a government that is going and opening up these urgent primary care centres with all this hoopla and fanfare, and the day they’re opened there’s almost nobody in there staffing them because they didn’t think to figure out a human resources strategy to figure out how they’re going to get workers in these places.

Falcon called the NDP’s “government must do everything” housing solutions “laughable” and proposed a “carrot and stick approach” that would incentivize the private sector and local government to “do the right thing” and create more supply.
